This is kindof a pain in a few places where the type system
doesn't propagate canonicality. Also, member initializations
are always direct-initializations and so are allowed to use
explicit constructors, which is a hole in our canonicality
tracking. But overall I like the idea of always working
with canonical types.

In particular, prepare for storing real v-table-like information
in the heap metadata. Give the metadata object proper linkage
and emit it as part of emitting the class.
Adjust the manglings of constructors and destructors while I'm
at it.

generation from an expression that has not been type-checked. One can
see the constraints introduced by an expression by using
:dump_constraints <expression>
within the REPL. We're still missing several major pieces of
constraint generation:
- We don't yet "open up" references to polymorphic types
- We don't print out the child constraint systems in the dump, so
it's not at all obvious what happens within overloading (and I'm not
convinced I like my representation anyway)
- There are no tests whatsoever
- Member constraints are still very, very weird

by abstraction from the concrete return type.
This basically gets generic calls working totally as long
as there's no remapping required.

method to initialize the members. This doesn't matter so much
for structs (the generated IR is essentially equivalent except for
small structs), but on classes, we don't want to make "new X" generate
code that knows about metadata/destructors/etc for the class X.
Also, make sure classes always have a constructor. (We haven't really
discussed the rules for implicitly declared constructors, so for now,
the rule is just "generate an implicit constructor if there is no
explicit constructor". We'll want to revisit this when we actually
design object construction.)

resolution. When we see a polymorphic function type, we substitute
"deducible generic parameter" types for each of the generic
parameters. Coercion then deduces those deducible generic parameter
types. This approach eliminates the confusion between the types used
in the definition (which must not be coerced) and the types used when
the generic function is referenced (which need to be coerced).
Note that there are still some terrible inefficiencies in our handling
of these types.

Mangling is still a hack, pending a better type AST. Fixed
a bug where arguments passed indirectly were not being destroyed
by the callee (when passed by value). Changed some of the protocol
signatures to use the generic opaque pointer type, making the
types a bit more self-documenting in the IR.

value witnesses goes.
There are three major remaining things to do to support protocols:
- laying out the actual protocol members
- emitting witnesse for the actual protocol members
- detecting uses of the actual protocol members and funnelling
them through the witnesses as appropriate
All this work was just to let us treat protocol types as
first-class values.

in general, not sound. For the limited cases where we did use this
expression kind on lvalues (member access or instance method
invocations on a superprotocol), leave the conversion to the client of
their respective AST nodes (MemberRefExpr, DotSyntaxCallExpr). We may
decide to enrich these ASTs in the future with more information about
the conversion path, but it's not clear that it's actually useful
information for, e.g., IRgen.

pairs in extensions. The AST here is a little wierd; I don't
really get why there needs to be a PatternBindingDecl here.
It's easy enough to ignore.
